Yeah, I don't know whether they had any impact or whether they were just for laughs.

you never know with him

So his program was a massive flop?

Which one? The first one nobody has worked out and the 2nd one was entertaining and worked about as well as he predicted.

the sticking in your chair thing, was it supposed to work on the person viewing at home? And you two just made testament it didn't.

It was suposed to work on people who focused on the video and didn't get distracted. I found it impressive that it worked on anyone in the studio, let alone in their home.

It did work on people at home, but just with a few people. Derren mentioned that it worked better with the people in the studio because it was all perfect conditions. How far you are from the screen, and the quality of the picture your watching all has an effect. So it wasn't expected to work on most people.

I watched the show (recorded), but skipped the actual video. Everyone else went to sleep, and then he mentioned I had to sit up straight, so I couldn't be arsed (the lazy git I am)

I have seen people being hypnotised so I believe in this sort of thing, but I would imagine that hypnotising (not quite but you know what I mean) the whole nation is opening up channel 4 to a whole world of hurt.

Does anyone know of anyone who it did work on?

[fatal]

Nope. I watched it too. I tried to concentrate so it did work but it didn't. I am a fan of derren brown, i have seen him live a few times. I believe in hypnotisym and all that but i don't think i can be hypnotised. I can't concentrate. LOL

It was things like not being able to move your head outside an aera as well would make it difficult, try getting up without moving your head out of that range is difficult as you naturally lean forward to get up.

I like Derran Brwon but I am not sure now as to weather this was so much of a flop that it might be the end of his career.

So Derren's at it again tonight. Taking £5 to a casino and turning it into £175k profit I think was his claim.

He said a while back that he has a napkin on which some guy called Berglas scribbled down a system over dinner with him showing how you could make a guaranteed profit at the roulette table and that some day he hoped to find a mathematician he could trust to help him understand it.
